UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of NimC3GD12708 under the control of Scer\GAL4Hml.Δ results in significantly reduced survival when infected with Leishmania amastigotes, as compared to wild type.
Adults expressing NimC3GD12708 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 0% or 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum, depending on the insertion line used.
